Because Beyoncé said to wear silver.

As of May 2023, Beyoncé (and her eldest daughter, Blue) have been making their way across the world, performing her iconic Renaissance album for adoring fans — and will continue to tour through October of this year, too.

For nearly three hours most nights — and through rain-filled storms — Bey is all but singing her heart out and hitting intricate choreography alongside each word, with quick outfit changes that feature an eye-catching body harness, a full-on bumble bee moment, and a few disco ball-inspired couture pieces for good measure.

Fans of the album will likely know that chromatic silvers and glistening metallic hues are a major marker of the Renaissance era. And being that it’s officially Virgo SZN (which is Beyoncé’s zodiac sign), the icon has taken to Instagram to ask a tiny favor of her tour-bound fans.

In a now-expired Instagram story, she stated: “My birthday wish is to celebrate with you wearing your most fabulous silver fashions to the shows 8.23 - 9.22! We’ll surround ourselves in a shimmering human disco ball each night.”
